Glass-ceramic cooker hob

IMPORTANT

WARNINGS

The glass-ceramic surface must be cleaned with the aid of a damp

sponge and dish soap.

Do not use aggressive and abrasive detergents, pot scrubbers and

stain or rust removers.

• Do not operate the cooking zones without any pots on them. Do

not use the appliance to heat the room!

• Make sure that the cooking zones and pots are always clean and

dry, so as to ensure optimal heat transmission and to avoid

damaging the glass-ceramic surface.

• Overheated fat can easily ignite. Be extremely careful when

preparing dishes that require the use of bacon fat or oil (e.g. chips).

• Do not place wet pots or steamy lids on the cooking zones.

Dampness damages the cooking zones.

• Do not leave warm pots to cool on cold cooking zones (i.e. that

have been inactive) as the condensation that forms underneath the

pot accelerates corrosion.

Important warnings concerning the glass-ceramic surface

• Although the glass-ceramic cooker hob reaches the pre-set

temperature very quickly, the surrounding surface remains cold.

• The cooker hob resists temperature variations.

• The cooker hob can withstand knocks and will not damaged by

positioning pots with added force.

• Do not use the glass-ceramic surface as a worktop. Sharp objects

may scratch it.

• It is forbidden to prepare dishes in aluminium or plastic containers

on hot cooking zones. Do not place any plastic or aluminium object

(e.g. aluminium foil) on the glass-ceramic surface.

• Do not use the glass-ceramic hob if the surface is broken or

cracked.

Pointed objects that fall on the glass-ceramic hob may cause the

latter to break. The effects may appear immediately or at a later

stage. If you notice any visible cracks, disconnect the appliance

from the power supply immediately.

• If sugar or foodstuffs with high sugar content fall on the hot

cooker hob, clean the surface immediately.

Suggestions on the use of pots

Use high-quality pots with a straight and stable base.

• Heat transmission improves if the diameter of the pot base

matches that of the cooking zone, and by placing the pot in the

centre of the cooking zone.

• Follow the suggestions of the pot manufacturer when cooking in

heat-resistant glass pots or porcelain pots.

• Pressure cookers must be supervised until they reach the right

pressure. The cooking zone starts functioning at maximum power

then after a while, lower the heat setting using the appropriate

sensor on the basis of the pot manufacturer's indications.

• Make sure that the pressure cooker and all other pots contain

enough liquids during cooking, as cooking with an empty pot causes

overheating and damage to both the pot and cooking zone.

• Heat-resistant glass pots with flat base may be used on the glass-

ceramic hob provided their diameter matches that of the cooking

zone. Pots with larger diameter may crack due to thermal tension.

• Follow the indications of the pot manufacturer when using special

pots.

• When cooking with light-coloured pots (e.g. light-coloured metal)

or pots with thick bases, boiling point will be delayed by a few

minutes (up to 10 minutes). We recommend using pots with dark

and flat base for boiling large amounts of water.

Prior to first use

Important warnings

Pots

• Do not use clay pots as these may scratch the glass-ceramic

surface.

• The diameter of the pot base must match that of the cooking

zone. Using pots that are too small causes energy wastage and may

damage the cooker hob.

• Use the lid if compatible with the type of food preparation.

• The pots must be suitably sized according to the amount of food

being cooked. Preparing small amounts of food in large pots is a

waste of energy.

• Foodstuffs that require long cooking times may be cooked in

pressure cookers.

• Cook potatoes and the various types of vegetables using little

water: the food will cook well, provided the pot is always properly

covered with the lid. Once the water reaches boiling point, lower the

heat setting to a level that ensures slow boiling.

Control knobs

The cooking zones are controlled by knobs that turn clockwise and are connected to an energy

regulator. The numbers 1 to 8 indicate the various heat settings: 1 is the lowest heat setting

and 8 the highest, while 0 corresponds to the "off" mode.

The cooking zone controlled by each knob is visualised in the identification diagram adjacent to

each knob.

A. Control knob

B. Residual heat indicator

C. Cooking zone identification

diagram

D. Cooking zone

Residual heat indicator

Each heating element is associated with a residual heat indicator that automatically turns on

once the corresponding cooking zone has reached or exceeded a temperature of 50°C. Once

the cooking zone is turned off, the relative light remains lit until the cooking zone cools down

to below 50°C.

The glass-ceramic surface must be cleaned after every use, as

any remaining small stains will burn on the hot surface.

For ordinary maintenance purposes, use special detergents that

form a protective film against dirt.

Before every use of the hob, wipe away any dust from the glass-

ceramic surface and clean any dirt on pot bases, as it may

scratch the cooking zone (Fig. 1).

Warning: do not use steel wool sponges or abrasive detergents

that may scratch the surface. Aggressive sprays or unsuitable

detergents may also damage the surface (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).

The signs on the hob surface may fade due to the use of

aggressive detergents, steel wool sponges or dirty pot bases

(Fig. 2). Remove the smaller stains with a damp sponge then

dry the pot thoroughly (Fig. 3).

Water stains can be eliminated using a vinegar solution which,

however, should not be used on the hob frame (of some models)

as it may lose its lustre. Do not use aggressive detergents or

sprays to remove limescale (Fig. 3).

Stubborn dirt can be removed using detergents specially

formulated for glass-ceramic surfaces. Follow the suggestions of

the detergent manufacturer.

Be careful not to leave any detergent residues on the surface, as

these may damage the glass-ceramic surface (Fig. 3).

Stubborn dirt or burnt dirt must be removed with the aid of a

scraper. Make sure that the plastic scraper handle does not

come into contact with the hot cooker hob (Fig. 4).

Be careful not to harm yourself when using the scraper! Sugar

or foodstuffs with high sugar content may cause permanent

damage to the glass-ceramic surface (Fig. 5): for this reason,

any sugar residues must be immediately removed from the

glass-ceramic surface (even if still hot) using a scraper (Fig. 4).

Any change in the colour of the glass-ceramic surface does not

influence the operation or stability of the surface itself. The

colour change arises from the use of copper or aluminium pots,

or food residues on the pot base, and is very difficult to

eliminate.

Warning: all the above-mentioned defects are of an aesthetical

nature and do not directly influence the appliance's operation.

They cannot be solved by activating the warranty.
